A Multi-Day Wedding Invitation Suite for a Grand Celebration in Lake Como
A five-day wedding in Lake Como calls for an invitation that is elegant, functional, and organized. With multiple events at different venues, guests needed clear details while still receiving an invitation that felt luxurious and timeless.
A Five-Day Celebration in Italy
This wedding was more than a single-day event. It was an immersive experience, giving guests a chance to explore the best of Lake Como.
- Day 1: Welcome Reception at Villa d’Este – Guests arrived at one of Lake Como’s most prestigious hotels for cocktails and an intimate introduction to the celebrations.
- Day 2: Carnevale Veneziano at Villa Geno – A dramatic, Venetian masquerade-themed soirée featuring candlelit tables and classical music.
- Day 3: Bellagio Boat Tour – A private cruise to Bellagio, with time to explore, enjoy local cuisine, and take in the breathtaking scenery.
- Day 4: The Wedding at Villa Erba – The grand celebration with gold-accented décor, exquisite floral arrangements, and an elegant candlelit reception.
- Day 5: Festa Siciliana at Villa Teodolinda – A vibrant farewell event with Mediterranean-inspired décor, live music, and an Italian feast.
Each day offered something unique. The invitation suite needed to reflect this while keeping everything organized and beautifully presented.
A Laser-Cut Gatefold with a Functional Pocket
The invitation featured an ornate gold laser-cut gatefold, adding a sense of grandeur. Inside, a structured pocket neatly held individual event cards, allowing guests to follow the itinerary with ease. The main invitation card, printed with a custom watercolor illustration of Villa Erba, introduced the wedding day in an elegant way. Wax seals and velvet ribbons tied everything together for a refined finishing touch.
Custom Event Cards for Each Celebration
Each event had its own dedicated card, designed to match the style and theme of the day:
- Welcome Reception at Villa d’Este – A refined introduction featuring classic serif fonts and a delicate crest.
- Carnevale Veneziano at Villa Geno – A dramatic, baroque-style design reflecting the magic of Venetian masquerade.
- Bellagio Boat Tour – Soft lake-inspired illustrations capturing the beauty of the lake and its surroundings.
- Wedding at Villa Erba – A timeless design with gold foil accents and elegant calligraphy.
- Festa Siciliana at Villa Teodolinda – A lively design with Sicilian tile motifs and lemon illustrations, celebrating the Mediterranean charm of the final event.
Each card provided guests with essential information, including venues, addresses, and dress codes, making it easy to navigate the week’s festivities.
Finishing Touches
To complement the gold laser-cut gatefold, we selected taupe envelopes lined with a custom watercolor illustration of Lake Como. This detail offered guests a preview of the stunning destination before they even opened the invitation. Deep burgundy wax seals, hand-calligraphed RSVP cards, and delicate embellishments added to the suite’s elegance.
This custom design did more than invite guests to a wedding. It provided them with a seamless guide to an unforgettable multi-day experience.
